Canada rocks – and is really cold in winter

Posted on January 21, 2020 by Mike.Dietrich Workshop 3

Last week I’ve had one of those travel weeks where I accumulate many working hours already by flying and having layovers and delays at lovely airports. Plus of course, I work in addition and deliver full-day workshops. And see customers. Still, I won’t complain as I like my job a lot. Especially meeting with customers and discussing various upgrade and migration topics can be really challenging sometimes. And I can confess, Canada rocks – and is really cold in winter. Seriously …

Thank you, Barcelona – I’ll be back soon :)

Posted on December 11, 2019 by Mike.Dietrich Workshop 1

I stopped more or less watching Champions League football since it is available on pay TV only for over a year in Germany. But of course I saw the result yesterday: Barca lifting Dortmund into the play-off stage by beating Inter in Milano. Well, I guess, all BVB fans will have celebrated yesterday night. Still, the reason for my blog post is not football. But I’d like to say Thank you, Barcelona – I’ll be back soon 🙂

On Monday, Dec 9, 2019, I held a full day upgrade workshop in Barcelona. The Oracle ACS team did all …

We’ve had a great time – and we hope you had some fun as well and enjoyed the hands-on lab as well.

We are really sorry to hear more and more details about the flooding in Thailand and Bangkok. And our thoughts are with all the people there.
